Parent Maths Workshop

�To outline the main changes to the primary maths curriculum.

�To provide parents with ideas and activities that they can use at home to support children’s maths development.

�To outline the clear progression of the four calculation methods and how these are taught at Yealand.

Aims of the Workshop

∗ Fluent recall of mental maths facts e.g. times

tables, number bonds. Etc.

∗ To reason mathematically – children need to be

able to explain the mathematical concepts

with number sense; they must explain howthey got the answer and why they are correct.

∗ Problem solving – applying their skills to real-

life contexts.

Key Aims of the Maths Curriculum

Assessment at Yealand

� Half termly tests to assess children’s progress in line with the key objectives for their year group

� Use to inform future lesson planning

� Show where they are up to in relation to year group objectives (entering, developing, secure)

� SEN children might be working on a stage below

� Gaps used to set children’s targets

� In addition, we have weekly basic skills sessions which are also

linked to the yearly objectives – children work at the stage that is

appropriate to them – might be lower stage to catch up with the

gaps

KEY INSTANT RECALL FACTS

6 x 7 = 42

7 x 6 = 42 4.2 ÷ 7 = 0.6

42 ÷ 7 = 6

42 ÷ 6 = 7

∗ All children need to learn maths in a real life context.∗ As well as knowing 7x7=49. Children need to be able to do

the following: ∗ There are 7 fields, each field has 7 sheep in them. How many

sheep are there in total?

∗ Children need to be able to explain how they have calculated or solved a problem.

∗ In the new curriculum, written calculations are taught at an earlier age. The mental methods are essential for supporting pupils understanding of these written calculations.

Good practice in mathematics

∗ Telling the time.∗ The ability to estimate.∗ To use maths in a real life context.∗ Cooking. ∗ Shopping∗ Practise times tables∗ Support with homework using methods we’ve

shown you.
